I've got a complete run of Hostess sets from 1975-1979. They are all in panels trimmed to fit in three pocket sheets.
There really isn't a premium for complete boxes over panels. Nobody I know is interested in collecting the set in complete box form. Anybody who buys them will likely cut them down to panel size.
I also have a near complete run of Hostess Twinkies single cards from 1975-1977 in their complete untrimmed form.
The 1977 set is a huge challenge because six different products were included in the distribution meaning some players appear on several different size backings and some product sizes are very, very hard to find. The master set for that years numbers close to 250 total and I'm still searching for about ten of them.
